Guide for choosing web hosting server.
When looking for a Web hosting provider, one of the first things you often have to consider is what operating system the server will run.
If you already have a preference, then we recommend you stick with it. This guide is not trying to convince you to change, but only helps you to choose the right one.
Linux and Windows are the two most common and readily available operating systems, and there are many good reasons for using both.
Accessing the Server:
Both Windows and Linux offer FTP access to your files. FTP is a way of transferring your files from your hard drive to your Web server.
Writing Your Pages:
Both Windows and Linux servers will serve HTML pages and JavaScript.
FrontPage extensions:
FrontPage extensions are often cited as the reason to use a Windows server. But there are Linux servers that offer this service as well.
CGI / Perl:
CGI and Perl access are often found on both Windows and Linux servers, but it is more typical on Linux. If you need to program forms, you should make sure that your hosting service provides CGI or another way to process them.
Other Server-Side Scripts:
Many hosting systems offer PHP, ASP, and ColdFusion. These server side scripting options give you a lot of flexibility. PHP is more often found on Linux systems, while ASP is more often found on Windows. ColdFusion can be found on both.
Databases:
If you're going to run a dynamically driven Web site, then you'll want a database. The two most popular are mySQL and Access. mySQL runs on both Linux and Windows, but is more often found on Linux servers. Access is only available for Windows
Security:
Security is very important to your Web host. Many people will argue that Windows servers have more vulnerabilities than Linux servers. But the reality is that they both have security problems. Security is more important at the hosting service's administration level than it is at the operating system level. If you have good administrators, your server will be more secure - regardless of Operating System.
